Not really. Gas and electricity are quite cheaper than e.g. in Europe. Even the food is not that expensive.
Lots of electronics stuff is actually a real bargain here!
As far as food -
Do not look at the prices of you brand food. Compare prices of generic low quality food to the food in many poor countries.
Even in America, you can spend a lot less on groceries if you buy them in dollar store, Big Lots, dirty stores in you know what neighborhoods or bargain store brands, and similar.
You do not do it, since you can afford the better stuff.
People in poor countries are stuck to that kind of food. Often old, expired, dirty and infected.
E.g. when stuff is nearing expiration date in US stores, they take them off and send to Haiti or Mexico. By the time, these make it to shelves, they are technically expired. But people there will jump on them.
Cheap medications in Mexico, that US people are traveling to get from there, are usually expired and re-labeled pills which would have to be discarded in US.
Think about that!
There are many coastal states where electricity and natural gas rates are at EU levels.

TEven within the USA there are major differences in incomes and living costs. So people even with lower incomes can live comfortabley in low cost states.
FR seems to be able to understand that when it comes to US states.
But they are still stuck in a Cold War rut where everything in Russia is automatically bad regardless of actual facts.
